The morning after LA Rams coach Sean McVay starred on the debut episode of Hard Knocks, the New York Post had a bombshell report saying ESPN talked to him about becoming an analyst on Monday Night Football.
McVay declined and the network ended up going with a team comprising of play-by-play announcer Steve Levy, and analysts Louis Riddick and Brian Griese. The New York Post reported ESPN thinks McVay can be a broadcast star in the way of Jon Gruden, who held the Monday Night Football analyst role for nearly a decade before going to back the Raiders in 2018.
